How would modern Japanese people look like when painted in Utamaro-style
Japanese painting? Would it create a new style for portrait? – I focus on this theme.
I chose the Metropolitan Tokyo 23 Wards because that’s where you can find all unique
Japanese modern people.

I love Japanese modern art and traditional art. I love Japanese Shiba dog, too.
I love books, Soundtrack CDs, movies and TV dramas.
Sometimes I sit down thinking “too much favorite things…” but I always take it slow.

「脳のなかの幽霊」（PHANTOMS IN THE BRAIN）幻肢等の奇妙な症例から脳の構造や働きを探り意識や心の問題に迫るこの本から、実在性を構築する情報と認識との差異または曖昧さによる自己の意識を考察した。

Mika Matsumoto “Consideration of consciousness” - The Book of Black & White from
PHANTOMS IN THE BRAIN

“PHANTOMS IN THE BRAIN” – This book describes the function and structure of
human brain. It goes on to explain how it relates to consciousness and problems that
human feelings make by analyzing unique symptoms including “Phantom limb”. I
studied how human brain processes information that builds reality, and how it differs
from what human cognizes, as well as how human relates uncertainty to self
consciousness.
